German JEM with English Mails
German JEM with English Mails
4 years 7 months ago
In our JEM installation (2.3.0, german) under Joomla 3.9.20 (german) everything works fine except the Mails attendees get when register/unregister... to an event: --> All Mail texts are english
It's not a big problem but a minor flaw, but I would be grateful if anybody could give me a hint what to do.
(German language file in this ...plugin... directory exists)

Hi Sepp,
You're right: there is a problem with the mails being send by the plugin. It seems there is a little error in the germand language-string and besides that the language strings are not read from plugin folder. Guess they do from front, but it looks it's not from backend.
language string
File: /plugins/jem/mailer/language/de-DE/de-DE.plg_jem_mailer.ini
Find:
change it to
closing character was missing.
adjust plugin mailer file
But then you have to do something else.
Go to file: /plugins/jem/mailer/mailer.php
Find
change or add it to
Thing is that the plugin wasn't looking for language files in plugin-folder from backend.
uhm am seeing i'm hardcoding the language tag but we can catch what language we're in..
Extra note:
if you have a local version and want to test out sending mails locally then you can use a program like smtp4dev
github.com/rnwood/smtp4dev/releases/tag/v2.0.10

it's more a replacement of this line
There i did hardcode the language-Tag.
a replacement for that line can be:
but if everything works fine at the moment i wouldn't bother it.
// have to note that i didn't test it out
Code:
$language_tag = 'de-DE';
